Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Cream wet ingredients: In a separate large bowl, cream the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla extract.
Combine and fold: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until combined. Fold in the chopped nuts and crisped rice cereal or cornflakes.
Bake: Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until edges are golden and centers are just set.
Cool: Let cool on the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For extra crunch, add an extra handful of cereal right before baking.
These cookies stay crisp at the edges and chewy in the center.
You can also mix in mini chocolate chips or dried fruit if desired.
